I am happy that Gray is letting stations have control (for the most part) of their look.

I had a couple of college mates who started there right out of school (and then moved up and out after a year or two) - especially on the weekend, where crews are very thin. i’d just chalk it up to lack of experience.

TennTV1983 804 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 WMC-TV in Memphis switched over to new blue-and-white graphics this evening. Appears to be another variant of the Gray look many of its stations have been receiving.

memnews 36 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 (edited) Just caught the final seconds of WMC's 5PM and saw the same thing. Here are a couple photos. I hope the custom backgrounds on the weather graphics aren't done with (even though they appear to be, if the 7-day is any indication). I always thought using local photos was a neat idea.

RGSJenkins 434 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Unfortunately Livestream has been stuck airing a 7:57am Today news update from July 4th, no one can't record a open unless you live in the Memphis area.

memnews 36 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I'm afraid I won't be of any help with recording an open. But some videos from the 5PM have been uploaded to the app/website. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the font is Helvetica. And the lower thirds really need some help differentiating between the headline and the secondary text. (Accidentally posted this before with "hide post" selected and for the life of me can't seem to undo it. My bad.)

Samantha 2895 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 What a downgrade.

memnews 36 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 If you'll pardon the poor quality, here are some pictures and video from the 10PM. In addition to Helvetica on the regular graphics, I think that's Arial on the weather graphics. Also not a fan of how unnecessarily blocky and screen-clogging the weather scroll is. As you can see though, the rest of the weather graphics rely heavily on the old Raycom look.

tyrannical bastard 3942 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I could go either way on this one. It's definitely a Gray package, but it looks decent and doesn't seem too derivative or too "plastic-looking" versus some of the other Gray efforts.
